Bristol Township Hosting Electronics Recycling Drive

New electronics are sort of necessary around the holidays. With sleeker, faster, more powerful electronics being released constantly, many people end up with outmoded electronics and don't know what to do with them.

Bristol Township wants to help you get rid of your old electronics safely and securely.

Due to Pennsylvania State Law, tossing old electronics in the garbage is illegal, according to Bristol Township.

Township residents can recycle items such as old laptops, e-readers, tablets, monitors, printers and computers free of charge at the Township’s Municipal Building, 2501 Bath Road.

The drop off site is open on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The site will be closed for holidays.

Anyone dropping off electronics is required to stop at the Municipal Building Administrative Office and show a valid ID or a copy of a utility bill identifying that they are a resident of Bristol Township.

Every computer's hard drive is removed from the device and wiped clean of all data to ensure private information is not available to anyone.

For more information on electronics items accepted call (267) 812-2950 or visit the township's electronic recycling website.
